Are You Considering A Granite Sett Or Cobble Pathway?

Construction News Image
A path is usually the last thing you add to your garden and so is often given very little thought. And if you do think about it, you might only consider its practicality – how can I get from one side of the garden to the other in all weathers? But a garden path can be aesthetic too.

Style

When you think about adding a path to your garden, you should also consider how it looks. It should blend in with the landscape, and use materials that match your style, your area, and your house.

Granite setts and cobbles can add a beautiful natural look to your garden path. They are a popular choice for building garden paths in the UK because of their durability and their style. Whether you use your garden as the place where you sit, eat, and enjoy a peaceful moment with nature, or if you use it as an outdoor space to play with your children. Granite setts, cobbles and cobblestones enhance the usefulness and beauty of this space.

Value

And because it adds style and functionality to your garden, your new path can also help to add value to your property.

When built correctly with the right amount of planning, attention to detail, and the right materials, your path will become useful, stylish, and a good investment. So building your paths out of something like granite setts, cobbles and cobblestones is long-term investment because it adds style, practicality, and it will last for many years.

What To Consider When Building A Garden Path

When it comes to designing the best path for your garden, you need to think about the architectural and physical aspects of your space. You should keep in mind that your path should work seamlessly with the rest of the garden and not too jarring from the style of your house.

So when it comes to planning your garden path you should consider a few different factors.

Colour

When designing a pathway you should take into account the colours that are already in the look of your property and garden. Landscape designers think that a path makes a garden come alive. Usually when they say that they mean alive with colour, because the colour of your path should and will contrast with the colour of your grass and plants.

When you consider the colour you want from your path, you should bear in mind that artificial colours will age quick, which can make them look old and worn. But natural colours, like natural stone, will be timeless.

For this reason, granite setts are perfect for creating a timeless and natural pathway.
